But, googling is so time consuming...

10:00 am

thanks dauber -- I was afraid to touch that switch because I didn't know what it was for.

cybernan

it sure would be nice if apple would package basic instructions with their phones. Not all of us are good at learning from you tube videos.

10:01 am

MollyL

Google search? Time-consuming? So is opening a book. It's how we learn.

don't know why Molly, but most of mine do -- I have to really hunt to find an article that I can read and that isn't submitted by a user rather than a expert

10:10 am

MollyL

Oh my, when will this crap end? Dove has announced that it is removing the word "normal" from it's skin care products (as in For Normal to Dry Hair) because the word normal makes most people feel excluded. Really?

10:10 am

Haz1558

We all are, montreal. I can't believe I have children in their thirties.

10:11 am

montreal13

well, my oldest GRANDson tirne 23 last week...but we got married REALLY young â˜ºâ˜º

10:12 am

cybernan

you two are making me feel really old -- my youngest is turning 50 this year!

10:12 am

montreal13

* turned even

10:12 am

Haz1558

Just think of all the wisdom and experience you've built up over the years.

10:12 am

Haz1558

I love when my girls admit 'You were right'.

10:13 am

montreal13

lol haz

10:13 am

montreal13

experience, for sure, wisdom, well...

10:15 am

montreal13

nice seeing you all this am - bbl for last 68 - have a great day and stay safe

10:15 am

Haz1558

You too, montreal, good to see you.

10:16 am

montreal13

bye Haz

10:16 am

cybernan

bye mtl

10:17 am

montreal13

btw, how's vaccination in your area Haz and you nan ? i was vaccinated 10 days ago, a Pfizer shot

10:18 am

Haz1558

Vaccination is proceeding very quickly and smoothly. NHS tells you when each age group is eligible, you then book online for a slot. You have the choice of mass vaccination centre or doctor's surgery or local pharmacist.

10:18 am

cybernan

got the pfizer on the 28th of March -- so about the same time frame. 60+ being vaccinated here now

10:18 am

Haz1558

We got our first Pfizer jab on 13th March, next one is 22 May.

10:19 am

cybernan

But numbers of new cases have increased to around 1000/day for the province.

10:19 am

moolingwa

I got my first one last week too...next one scheduled on the 28th of April

10:19 am

montreal13

our 2nd shot is scheduled in July !

10:19 am

moolingwa

it sounds like you're not getting the vaccines as quickly up in canada

10:19 am

cybernan

same here, mtl

10:20 am

Haz1558

We are still in lockdown, NI being very cautious in easing restrictions. My hair is witness to the need for hairdressers to open up again.

10:20 am

montreal13

60+ in Montreal proper, 65+ in my neck of the woods...

10:20 am

moolingwa

Some places in the US already at any adult who wants it

10:20 am

moolingwa

we'll probably be 40+ in two weeks here

10:21 am

montreal13

we get 112 days between Pfizer doses...

10:21 am

cybernan

we don't have any companies here that manufacture the vaccine, mool, so we are dependent on whatever the government can purchase elsewhere.

10:21 am

moolingwa

ah, that's frustrating

10:21 am

cybernan

Most of our vaccines are coming in from UK and India

10:21 am

Dorens

New York went to 30 +last Monday and my daughter got hers on Thursday- J & J so one and done

10:21 am

moolingwa

I'll have around 3 1/2 weeks between mine

10:22 am

montreal13

we're beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel, we're just hoping it's not a freight train !

10:22 am

moolingwa

yeah, that would be disappointing

10:22 am

montreal13

â˜º

10:22 am

Dorens

Canada is behind, but certainly picking up now, right?

10:23 am

montreal13

picking up but still lagging...

10:23 am

cybernan

The US recently sent us some AstraZenica, but it is only authorized for use on those under age 50

10:24 am

montreal13

gm dorens ! - and on that note, bye for now

10:24 am

moolingwa

it was a bit confusing here up until about a week or so ago...they'd lowered to 50, but then it was almost impossible to find somewhere to get the shot. I ended up driving 45 minutes to a place that was like a huge production line....didn't even get out of the car

10:24 am

Haz1558

Bye, montreal.

10:24 am

Dorens

gm monty and enjoy your day

10:25 am

montreal13

bye - 'poof'

10:26 am

Dorens

And hello Haz. it's been a while. Nice to see you

10:26 am

cybernan

gosh, mool, when we got our shots we had to wait at the vaccination site for 15 minutes after in case there were any adverse reactions.

10:26 am

Haz1558

You too, Dorens.

10:26 am

moolingwa

yes, we had to park for 15 mins

10:26 am

moolingwa

but never left the car

10:27 am

cybernan

and hi to all those who came in in the middle of this conversation. We are still in lockdown as well Haz

10:28 am

cybernan

anyone have the y stats, please?

10:28 am

10:34 am

cybernan

not finding that 4th co 8 - have the 3 related ones

10:35 am

Haz1558

There are lots of co8 words.

10:36 am

cybernan

more than 4 of them haz?

10:36 am

Dorens

I only have a couple but haven't listed so no idea which is the fourth

10:36 am

Haz1558

Yes. Let me count.

10:37 am

cybernan

I haven't listed either -- earlier in the chat someone said there was a 4th one starting at the other c

10:37 am

Haz1558

6 altogether. Unless my counting is wrong.

10:37 am

Dorens

oooh. I need three of them then

10:38 am

Haz1558

You have probably got the three relating to giving in, I assume.

10:38 am

cybernan

oh - just found one of them which makes absolutely no sense at all

10:38 am

Dorens

yup

10:39 am

Haz1558

There are two that are plurals for co7 words.

10:39 am

Haz1558

And then a descriptive co8 relating to a co6.

10:39 am

Dorens

thanks. Now I have to find those co7 words

10:40 am

cybernan

one of them is either a grape or a jet

10:41 am

Haz1558

Look for rocket propelled fruit.

10:41 am

Dorens

hmm. I had that one but see no extension of it

10:42 am

cybernan

the grape is a 7 - didn't find an extension for it either

10:43 am

Haz1558

Descriptive could also be a past tense verb form for co6.

10:43 am

cybernan

but just found a co 6 than can have a pt

10:44 am

Dorens

i must be using the wrong grape

11:34 am

rururocks

11:34 am

hokie carla

thanks, zooz. I sprinkled powdered (or confectioner's) sugar on them after the pic. that was a funfetti cake mix. the 2nd batch I made a kentucky butter cake from scratch, which is basically a pound cake with a sugary buttery glaze soaked in. I also put powdered sugar on those.

11:35 am

2:48 pm

zoozzoom

If you are still here, Peri I just found it.

2:54 pm

MollyL

Wow, you talk about a variant spelling of a word.

2:55 pm

moolingwa

I have the se8 if anyone needs a clue

2:55 pm

MollyL

I have never seen that spelling for those who get what's in the will

2:56 pm

hokie carla

well I tried an se8 earlier with a different last letter. didn't occur to me to try that one

2:56 pm

moolingwa

you try with the -or too?

2:57 pm

hokie carla

and I somehow monkeyed the ha8 when I heard it existed

2:57 pm

hokie carla

no, just harry's asterisk word

2:57 pm

moolingwa

happy to hear that

2:58 pm

moolingwa

oh

2:58 pm

hokie carla

I mean it took me a lot of tries for the ha8 but I vaguely remembered there was something like that.

2:59 pm

zoozzoom

Yes I was going for a shorter version. Well what I thought was a shorter version if there is one lol

3:00 pm

zoozzoom

It was only when, Peri asked for a HA8 that I had a go at a longer one.

3:00 pm

zoozzoom

I have no idea if I am making sense at all haha!

3:01 pm

MollyL

I'm trying to figure out what goes with that ha8. Uncle Henry's aestatedes?

3:02 pm

MollyL

Zoom, you had a go at a longer one? Oh no, you can't lead me down that path. No way.

3:02 pm

zoozzoom

Haha!

3:02 pm

hurshy

ok the recent chat is making this grid seem like it is daunting

3:03 pm

zoozzoom

It is not so bad, Hurshy! Although I still have 13 left to find.

3:04 pm

MollyL

It is not exactly a walk in the park

3:04 pm

hokie carla

well, I am down to 27, but very slow going. well, actually I haven't been trying. but I did get my Dreamcast fixed and have been checking all the games. now I am motion sick from Crazy Taxi and will probably have to go lie down.

3:05 pm

zoozzoom

Oh dear, Hokie. You been over-doing it!

3:06 pm

MollyL

The latest in political correctness: Dove will be dropping the word "normal" from it's skin and hair products (as in for Normal To Dry Hair). Supposedly, using the word 'normal' to describe hair or skin makes most people feel excluded. Will this EVER end?

3:07 pm

hokie carla

FFS

3:07 pm

mty

Happy Day, Babble Folks!!

3:07 pm

hurshy

what difference does it make to you though? no harm done by the switch, so who cares?

3:08 pm

MollyL

Oh but there is harm done. Every time a product drops a logo or a way of describing their product it means remarketing and repackaging and guess who the cost gets passed on to?

3:09 pm

hokie carla

if someone is offended by their dry hair or skin not being normal, then they have problems

3:09 pm

hurshy

ok but they ALWAYS redesign and repackage stuff anyway, just to keep things "fresh" or whatever, so i don't see what difference that really makes

3:10 pm

hurshy

they were probably redesigning anyway so they just incorporated this change into the plans

3:10 pm

hokie carla

I have dry skin and I'm thankful there are products made especially for dry skin, how am I being excluded because it's not "normal"?

3:10 pm

cybernan

hi again - back for more punishment

3:10 pm

MollyL

Phrases like turning a deaf ear, the blind leading the blind and that's crazy are also now taboo as they offend the handicapped.

3:10 pm

hokie carla

um, I think handicapped is not allowed either

3:11 pm

MollyL

DIsabled?

3:11 pm

hurshy

i just think, if someone IS bothered by it, then i should just be grateful that i'm not so afflicted, rather than judging them for being bothered.

3:11 pm

MollyL

Challenged?

3:11 pm

hurshy

Differently Abled is de rigeur I think

3:11 pm

cybernan

ha 8 please?

3:12 pm

MollyL

I'm not judging anyone. I'm just wondering how much longer the nit is going to get picked.

3:12 pm

cybernan

need something a little less obscure than what has been in the chat

3:13 pm

hurshy

to you it's nitpicking. to someone else, it obviously matters.

3:13 pm

zoozzoom

HA + vowel + colour+ vowel + plural.

3:14 pm

hokie carla

ha + poetic before long + tutu nickname

3:14 pm

cybernan

ty zoom and carla -- very strange word

3:14 pm

MollyL

Okay Hurshy, you win.

3:15 pm

hokie carla

but there are certain things it does matter in and things it absolutely shouldn't, like hair care or skin products. are you making matters worse or lessening the value of real change by kowtowing to people that are offended by everything?

3:16 pm

hokie carla

they're now just validating those taking offense. it is not offensive to have dry hair.

3:16 pm

MollyL

Thank you Carla

3:17 pm

hurshy

i mean, i admit, i am not sure why someone would be bothered by shampoo for normal hair. but i'm not going to waste my energy in worrying about what is or isn't reasonable for someone to be bothered by, if a company has already made that decision. i'm going to assume they did market research or something and found this would help them sell their product. if it lessens the value of real change, that would be bad, but i'm not sure whether it does so.

3:19 pm

cybernan

still need 80, but going to list anyway -- i suspect there are a lot of weird words and words that have been manufactured in this one

3:19 pm

moolingwa

what if my hair is normally oily, even when it's dry?

3:19 pm

hokie carla

well, you may be onto something - companies are going to do what makes them the most $$ - but the more they do that, the more offended people are going to get about everything.

3:19 pm

hurshy

lol mool

3:19 pm

hokie carla

you need the abnormal shampoo then, moo

3:19 pm

moolingwa

that makes sense

3:20 pm

cybernan

oh brother -- first one -- when did cl 4 become a verb? the potters cl 6 their pots?

3:20 pm

moolingwa

have to wonder whether the whole normal/dry/oily was just marketing anyway

3:20 pm

hokie carla

thanks, nan

3:20 pm

hurshy

i always wonder why Lily didn't help young Severus out with some hair care tips, incidentally, so he wouldn't have to have forever been stuck with greasy hair

3:21 pm

hokie carla

that is a good question, moo, because my skin is still dry after using products for dry skin.

3:21 pm

moolingwa

this board is slow

3:21 pm

moolingwa

34 to go

3:21 pm

hokie carla

so, it's not me that's slow, it's the board?

3:21 pm

hokie carla

3:22 pm

moolingwa

3:23 pm

hokie carla

need 4 8's still

3:23 pm

moolingwa

I need 6 8s and both 9s

3:24 pm

hokie carla

I got both the 9s from clues and they both have 8's

3:25 pm

moolingwa

yeah, saw the starting letter for one pair

3:25 pm

hokie carla

the 8's are anagrams of each other

3:25 pm

moolingwa

yay

3:25 pm

hurshy

ooh, i only need one more E to complete the E words (left E)

3:25 pm

hokie carla

I need 2 E's

3:25 pm

moolingwa

I have three E's left

3:26 pm

hurshy

3:26 pm

hokie carla

3:26 pm

moolingwa

3:26 pm

moolingwa

speaking of which...

3:26 pm

hurshy

no clue what the baby falcons are

3:27 pm

hokie carla

does that mean there's no baby falcon singular?

3:27 pm

moolingwa

the one you just clued

3:27 pm

hurshy

did you guys remember that es5/14 can be a verb and get endings accordingly?

3:27 pm

cybernan

no def for that last co 7-8 combo -- either someone can't spell or its a regal military rank maybe?

3:27 pm

moolingwa

now you need the plural

3:27 pm

moolingwa

yes, completed that e

3:27 pm

hurshy

ohh

3:27 pm
